CEMENTABLE SUPPORT FOR WALL FIXTURES Filed June 2, 1953 7 Even/54 Patented Aug. 28, 1934 UNITED STATES.

' PATENT OFFICE CEMENTABLE SUPPORT FOR WALL FIXTURES The object of my invention is to provide inexpensive simple and convenient means for attaching a wall cabinet to a room wall, without having to deface the latter.

I attainmy object in providing a support -adapted to be fastened to the wall by being fastened in place by a cementitious plastic compound which dries relatively quickly; said support being provided with simple means for fastening the cabinet to it.

In its broad conception, my support may consist of a body, orjdisc, having radially disposed openings thru which the cementitious compound will squeeze and form anchoring elements fastening the disc to the wall; the disc being adapted to have incorporated therewith the cabinet fastening means.

In another, possibly preferred conception of my support, the same comprises a disc having punched out projecting anchoring tongues which become embedded in the cementitious plastic compound.

In still another conception, my support comprises a disc having a hollow section, from which projecting anchor-tongues are punched out, projecting into, and being embedded in the cementitious plastic compound filling said hollow, thus firmly fastening the support to the room wall.

As one example of cementitious plastic compound which may be used for. afiixing said disc in place, I suggest the material sold on the market as Plastic wood consisting of wood fiber in a solution of liquid celluloid. Alcohol is a ready solvent for this material and readily softens it after it has set and become solid.

Therefore to remove my support it is only necessary to againsoften the cementitious plastic compound. Thus my support may be affixed to, and removed from the wall without any defacement of the latter; the wall surface where my disc was aflixed being readily cleaned with said solvent.

The construction and use of my invention is hereinafter fully described with reference !to the accompanying drawing, in which:

Fig. 1 shows a fragmentary front elevation of the ends of a cabinet fastened to a room wall by my support, the front wall of the cabinet 50 being broken away so as to show portions of its rear wall, and illustrates the mode in which "the cabinet is fastened in place;

Fig. 2 shows a cross section on the line 22 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 shows a front elevation, partly in section of my cementable support of the type shown by Figs. 1 and 2;

Fig. 4 shows a section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3;

Fig. 5 illustrates another type of my support: As here shown it comprises a disc having punched-out holes thru which the cementitious plastic compound will squeeze and form anchoring elements fastening the disc to the wall;

Fig. 6 shows a central cross section of Fig. 5;

Fig. '7 shows another type of my support: As here shown it comprises a disc having radial punched-out projecting anchor tongues leaving holes in the disc, whereby the cementitious plastic compound by which the support is fastened to a wall is squeezed thru said holes and forms anchoring elements in which said tongues are embedded; and

Fig. 8 shows a central cross section of Fig. 7.

I have described my invention as applied for supporting the cabinet of a roll paper dispenser of the type described in my application for patent which will mature in Letters Patent June 6, 1933, under No. 1,912,363. Such application how-' ever, of course, is merely a matter of convenience. in describing my invention.

My support comprises a metal body or disc 1, having a hollow raised or hemispherical section 2 provided with a perimetric flange '1, and further provided on its under side, thus within the hollow of said section 2, with inwardly projecting anchor-tongues 3 punched out of said section. The raised hollow portion 2 of the disc may be provided with a hole 4 in which to receive a bolt 4a having a nut 6. The rear side of the rear wall 8a of the cabinet 8 is provided at its ends with concavities, or inwardly recessed portions 9,

in which to receive my supports, as illustrated in Fig. 2, in which 20 indicates a room wall section.

Said recessed portions of the rear wall of the cabinet are provided with holes 12 thru which bolts 4a extend, and the cabinet is secured in place by nuts 6 threaded on said bolts.

As apparent from the description of my support, its anchor-tongues 3 are embedded in the cementitious compound 10 by which the support is secured to the wall w. Thus the support is firmly and rigidly held in place, and in turn firmly holds the cabinet fastened to my supports.

Since my support is cemented to the wall by a compound which may be softened again by applying to it the proper solvent, as mentioned, the removal of my support from the wall will leave the latter without defacement.

The openings 11, resulting from the anchortongues 3 being punched out of the raised section of the disc, facilitate the application of the solvent to soften the cementitious compound when my support is to be removed.

In the type of my fixture support illustrated by Figs. 5 and 6 the disc 14 is provided with radially disposed holes 15, and has a punched-out central socket 16 adapted to receive the head of a screw bolt 17, on which threads a n t 17a. In securing this disc to a room wall, t e plastic compound will be squeezed thru the holes 15 and thu form the anchoring element on the outer face of the disc securing the latter to the wall.

In the type of my invention illustrated by Figs. 7 and 8 the disc 18 has punched-out anchor tongues 19, leaving openings 20. The central portion of the disc is provided with a socket 21 to receive the head of a screw bolt 22, on which threads a nut 22a.

In aifixing the latter type of my support on a wall, the plastic compound will squeeze thru the holes 20 and thus form the anchoring element on the outer face of the disc, in which anchoring element the tongues 19 become embedded, thus rigidly securing my support to the'wall.

In the use of the types of my wall fixture support illustrated by Figs. 5 and 6, the rear wall of the cabinet would be adapted to receive the fixture, as for example illustrated by Fig. 2.

I claim:

1. A cementable support for wall fixture comprising, a disc provided with radially disposed holes whereby the cementitious plastic compound applied in fastening the disc to a wall is caused to squeeze thru said holes and form anchoring elements, and means for fastening a wall fixture to said support.

2. A cementable support for wall fixture comprising, a disc having punched out radially disposed anchor tongues whereby the cementitious plastic compound applied in fastening the disc to a wall is squeezed thru the holes produced by said punched out tongues, and form an anchoring element embedding said tongues, means for fastening a wall fixture to said support.

3. A cementable support for wall fixture comprising, a disc having a raised hollow section and therein projecting anchoring tongues punched out of said section, whereby the cementitious plastic compound applied in fastening said disc to a wall is squeezed thru the holes produced by said punched out tongues, thus filling said hollow and forming an anchoring element embedding said tongues, means for fastening a wall fixture to said support.

4. A cementable support for wall fixture comprising, a disc having a raised hollow section and therein projecting anchoring tongues punched out of said section, whereby the cementitious plastic compound applied in fastening said disc to a wall is squeezed thru the holes produced by said punched out tongues, thus filling said hollow and forming an anchoring element embedding said tongues, said hollow section of the disc having a central hole to receive a bolt.

5.
